Why.
BY F.MII.r J. BUUBKB.
Why «o eager, O, ye little children ?
<loing outward from the morning land,
From your Eden, at whose shining ports!*
Stands the angel guarding, sword in baud.
Why so full of haste ? there’s no returning
To its careless freedom of d-ligbt,
To its thornless paths of simple pleasure,
To its peaceful day and restful night.
Stay your footsteps, cross not yet the portal;
Lii.ger on amid your Eden bowers,
In the coolmes, where the garish sunlight
11. tli not the dew from off the flowers.
Where the sound of silver fixuituins playing
Mingles with the birds and breezes there,
And yoar angel, walking close beside you,
tin irdeth ever with the tendereat care.
We, who have passed outward long before yon,
Still with yearning hand would hold you back,
Fain would keep your eager feet frolfa pressing
In such haste the ragged, life-worn track.
Fain would hold you still to onr caressing,
Guard your spirits from the fever paia,
Keep your garments white from earth’s polluting.
Knowing well how deep and dark the slain.
All in vain the witching voices call you,
A^dye tisra, with thoughts of careless glee,
From your Eden land ol white-robed pleasure,
To grasp the fruitage of the bitter tree.
We can only lift vmto the Fattier
Fray era unceasing, that year angel gnide
ilny not leave yam loa-eSy in the raaz s,
But may follow eloser at your side.
That amid the evil you nny conqua 1 ,
Acting well and ncfcly aM yoar part,
Wash the stain from oil your e irth-worn garments
Wiu the guerdon of the pure lu heart.

Does Brain Work Shorten Life ?
Tho Providence Journal discusses
ill's subject in a very üblo and sensible
manner. It give* tb« following inter
esting facts to prove that men in our
-country are not killing themselves with.
too much 1 rain work. It nays :
In the first place, there is good rea
son for doubting, or at uny rate there is
«i» good proof that mental diseases, or
diseases of the brain, are more preva
lent in this than in other countries. It
js generally thought so, and it may pos
P,ibly be true ; but the only proof of it is
* general inlorence from a very few
facts, the very weakest of all proof.
But there is important evidence upon
tho subject, which is available, it is
the average of those who die, in various
occupations and professions in this
country. In the State of Massachusetts
the records have beeo kept for twenty- |
live years, so that the number of facts
has become sutficieat to make the result
important and valuable as evidence.
Wc find in the report for 1867, that
in twenty five years the deaths of 4,566
professional men had been reported, with
an average age of 50.5 years, and 9,856
met chants, financiers, ngmts, etc., w ith
an average age of 48.5 years. These
averages are greater than those of any
other eluss except fanners and mechan
ics working in open air. The average
age of active mechanics in shops is 47.9
rears; of inactive mechanics in shops is
43 years; of laborers, 46 8 years; fac
tors laboring abroad, 34 2 years; ol
persons employed on the ocean, 45.5
years; of 'entile', 38.7 years; of farmers,
64 2 yenrs, and of active mechanics
working in the open air, 51.2 years.
There is nothing here to indicate that
brain labor shortens life, and when we
look at. tho individual p.ofossions, the
proof is still more marked. Thus the
average age of those w-ho died in some
of the most important professions and
occupations was as fellows : Bankers,
54,7 years; hank officers, 54.8 years;
merchants, 53 years; booksellers, 50.5
ye r-;» le gyn e i, 57.8 years ; judges and
just'c's, 66.4 years ; lawyers, 66 1 years;
physicians, 56 years ; professors, 56
years, and public i Hirers, 54 6 years.
The average age of the whole num
ber of persons who died in the twenty
live years, whose occupations were spe
cified, was 50.5 y« irs. It seems, then,
that bankers, merchants, clergymen,
lawyers, physicians and professors live
longer than the average of all classes of
occupations, and very much longer than
laborers and inactive mechanics working
in shops. Neither the hurry and excite
ment of bankers and merchants, nor the
pi-veto mental labor of clergymen,
judges and lawyers, seem to shorten
their lives. In fact it will be noticed
that the throe professions last named,
whose oicupationsis wholly bruin labor,
ami of the most severe description, are
the very highest on the list of average
ages. It is probable that some mer
chants injure themselves from too much
anxiety about their business ; and it is
p-tssihle that sometimes a student or a
professional tnan may injure himself by
nevero mental labor in this country,
though we cannot recall a well authen
ticated case of tho kind. The truth is
wo have hut few hard students in this
country, and our students and proses
jd-uial men are killer , not by too much
labor of the brain, but by too little labor
of the body ; not by too much food for
the mind, but by too much food for the
stomach. Many more are iijured by
excessive indulgence of bodily passions
and appetites than by excessive indul
gence of bodily passions and appetites
than by excessive indulgence in literary
labor. * Tobacco and alcohol produce
far more softening of the brain and dis
ease of the heart among students in this
country than close application to their
studies. A healthy mind in a healthy
body is capable ot an almost unlimited
amount of labor without injury ; but if
the body is broken down by excess or
by neglect, the mind suffers with it, and
both fall together.
Felon on the Finger.— Many persons
j.re liable to extreme suffering from fe!—
ona on' finger. These afflictions are
not only very painful, but not unlre
quently occasion permanent cripples of
the member affected. The following
simple prescription is recommended as
a cure for the distressing ailment :
‘Take common rock salt, such as is
used for salting down pork or beef, dry
it in an oven, then pound it fine and
mix with spirits of turpentine in equal
parts. I’ut it on a rag and wrap anou»d
the part affected, and as it gets dry put
on more, and in twenty-four hours we
arc cured, the felon will be dead.”
[t will do no harm to try it.—Jour, of
Agriculture.

Half-Price Honesty.
There is a spirit which by long resi
dence in some men seems to obtain a
freehold right over them and to give
its mark to afl their actions. It belit
tles every generous thing t-hey do and
robs their good intentions of half their
force. It is the spirit of half-price hon
esty—the oontinual endeavor to satisfy
conscience and preserve a reputation
for doing right, without more than half
complying with tho requirements of
conscience and justice. When such a
man has business dealings with yon, he
treats the settlement of the bill as if it
were a mcre*formality, to bo attended
to at one time or another, as dhnnee
and -convenience msy dictate When
you goto collect it, he is aw«y from
home somewhere, and his wife hasn’t
any money or doesn’t know anything
about it; you must call again. When
you call again, he is down in the wood
lot, at tho other end of the farm ; you
must go down and see hina. He wants
you to wart tfffi b-e finishes that load :
after which he goes to the house with
you, looks over the bill, and takes from
tfts-desi tiie money that might just as
well have been handed you at tho first
call, lie thinks he has fully squared
the account; yet he has caused you an
am-omit «f trouble worth a large frac
tion of the face of the bill. lie does
nut offer to pay you for that. If you
wish to build a house or furnish it, you
wioet half price honesty st ev< ry turn.
Hire your workmen by tie day. and
they will spend almost as much time
in taking a few chews of tobacco as in
planing boards and driving nails. Me
chanics used to have a maxim—you
may strike lightly when you're working
for the Government; and modern prog
rcss seems to have expanded it into the
principle of striking as lightly as possi
ble when working by the day, whether
for Government or for private parties. —
Hire your house built by the job, aod
the tools will move fast enough ; but
the mortar will contain too much sand,
and the lumber will be but half sea
soned, and a thin coating of paint will
temporarily cover unsightly knots; and
alter another hr you will discover these
small cheats, until the walis seem to
echo in your ears a perpetual April
fool 1 Yet every mechanic you have
employed thinks he has dooe bis work
well enough, and would Hand aghast at
arty proposed abatement of pay. There
is hardly a piece of furniture in our par
lors, a utensil in our kitchens, a dish on
our tables, or a picture on our walls,
but offers an opportunity for unfulfilled
pretensions; and these opportunities
are improved w-ith provoking regularity.
There is another kind of imperfect
henesty which is less palpable than this,
but not less reprehensible. It consists
iu a reluctance to give full credit to the
good qualities or commendable actions
of a person you do not like. No down
right declaration is required for this. If
you are compelled to admit that be has
dono something worthy of praise, you
can easily do so with apparent frank
ness, and at the same time intimate the
probability of a selfish motive behind
the good deed. Oh yes, but, is a con
venient phrase, and its continual em
ployment prevents some folks from ever
getting much credit whatever they may
do to deserve it. Those who otter it
intend to be honest, and think they
uro so; but they are swayed by preju
dice and havo an unconscious reluc
tance to giving bis just dues to a man
whom they dislike or who is known to
have some bad qualities. They do not
comprehwnd that a man’s reputation
should be permitted to improve when
ever his actions and his life have im
proved. — Statesman. Raynor.
A Murderous Sea Flower. —One of
the exquisito wonders of the sea is call
ed the opelet, and is about as large as
the German aster, looking indeed, very
much like one. Imagine a very large
double aster, with ever so many long
petals of a light green, glossy as satin,
and each one tipped with rose color.—
These lovely petals do not lie quietly in
their places, like those of the aster in
your garden, but wave about in the wa
ter, while the opelet generally clings to
a rock, [low innocent and lovely it
looks on its rocky bed. Who would
suspect that it would eat anything
grosser than dew or sunlight? But
those beautiful waving arms, as you
call them, have another use besides
looking pretty. They have to provide
food for a laige open mouth, which is
hidden deep down among them—so
well hidden that one can scarcely find
it. ‘Well do they perform their duty,
for the instant a foolish little fishlet
toushes one of th 6 rosy lips he is struck
with poison as fatal to him as lightning,
tie immediately becomes numb, and in
a moment stops struggling; and then
the other beautiful arms wrap them
selves around him, and he is drawn into
tho huge greedy mouth and is 6een no
more. Then the lovely arms unclose
and wave again in the water, looking as
innocent and harmless as though they
had never touched a fish.
A £ew Maxims for Young Girls.—
Never make your appearance in the
morning without having first brushed
and arranged your hair, and dressed
yourself neatly and completely. Keep
your clothing in perfect order. Never
let pins do the duty of buttons, nor
strings take the place of proper bands.
Examine every garment when it comes
from the wash, and, if necessary, mend
it with neatness and precision. Do
not sew up the holes in your stockings,
as we have seen some careless, untidy
girls do, but take in a broad margin
around the hole, bo it small or large,
with a fine darning-needle and darning
cotton, and cover the fracture with au
interlaced stitch, so close as to be
strong as the body of tho stocking, and
fine enough to be ornamental. Train
yourself to useful occupation. Remem
ber it is wicked to waste time, and
nothing gives such an impression of
vanity and absolute silliness as a habit
of idling and never having any thing to
do. If you are in your father’s house,
take some department of household la
bor upon yourself, and a part of the
sewing, and make it your business to
attend to it. Do not let n call from
this idle girl, or a visit from that, or an
invitation from the other, interfere with
the performance of your duty. If you
can cultivate to perfection 6ome art by
which you can gain an independent
livelihood, do it, whether there is a ne.
cessity for it or not.

Putting the Best Foot First.— Dr.
H. J. was one of the most able,
talented, eccentric surgeons of the last
century. His practice embraced a large
circuit, and his fame extended to every
part df the State. The doctor was one
morning sitting id bis office poring over
some medical work (Not the New Illus
trated Hydropathic fresh
from the mother-countiy via Boston,
when a loud rap at the door aroused
him.
'‘Come in,” said the -doctor, and an
old lady hobbled into the apartment,
seeming the very embodimint of dirt ami
negligence.
“Doctor I’ve got a dreadful sore foot
—can yon belp it ?”
“I will try. Let me see it.”
The old crone proceeded to divest her

with which it was covered, and display

“My gracious !” exclaimed tnl doctor,
throwing up both bands in astonishment,
■“what a (forty foot l”
“La, doctor 3 you Deedn’t be in such
a wonderment about it. There’s dirtier
feet than that in the world, I’ll warrant
—yea, and dirtier than that in your own
house, as proud as the j'oung ladies,
yoar daughters are, all that,” and the
old hag cackled forth her pleasure at
the doctor’s astonishment.
“Woman, if you can find a dirtier
foot than that in my house, I will give
you a guinea and cure your foot for
nothing ”
“’Pen honor V' said the beldame.
“’Pon honor !” cried the doctor.
The old woman stripped off the other
stocking and displayed a foot that beg
gared all description, grinned in the
face of the astonished doctor and ex
claimed :
“Give me the guinea 1 I know’d it !
I washed t’other ’fore I came here.”
An Aimless Life. —l committed one
fatal error in my youth and dearly have
I regretted it. I started in life without
an object, even without an ambition.—
My temperament disposed me to ease,
and to the full I indulged my disposi
tion. I said to myself, “I have all I
see others contending for. Why should
I struggle?” I knew not the curse
that lights on those who have never to
struggle for anything. Had I created
for myself a deliuito pursqit—literary,
scientific, artistic, social, political, no mat*
ter, so there was something to labor for
and overcome—l might have been hap
py, I feel this now—too late 1 The
power is gone. Habits have become
ehains. Through all the profitless
years gone by, I seek vainly for some
thing to remember with pride, or even
to dwell on with satisfaction. I have
thrown away a life. I feel sometimes,
as if there were nothing remaining to
me worth living for. lam an unhappy

The Honest Farmer. —Two farmers
having a dispute as to some land, an ac
tion at law was commenced to deter
mine it. On the day fixed for the trial,
one of them called on his opponent to
accompany him to the court, that each
might give his own statement of the
case. Finding bis neighbor at work in
his field, he said to him, “Is it possible
you have forgotten our case to bo de
cided to-day ?” “No,” said the other,
“I have not forgotten it, but I cannot
well spare tiie time to go. You will be
there, and I know you are an honest
man and will state the case fairly, and
justice will be done.” And so it prov
ed ; for the farmer who went to the
judge stated his neighbors claims so
clearly that the case was decided
against himself, and ho returned to in
form his opponent that he had gained
the property. Such a character is
worth more than all the wealth of the
Indies.
A Good Hit. —During the late trial
of Speed—negro legislator—for subor

lislied :
Judge Rice--1 suppose you will ad
mit that Mr. Speed is a member of the
Alabama Legislature ?”
Mr. Clinton—Yes, if for do o‘her
purpose, as tending to impeach the char
ter of the defendant.”
The Sheriff gave an immediate order
for silence to the bystanders, and the
Judge appeared a little pestered, and for
a time lost his usuuljgood humor.—Mont
gomery Advertiser.
Game. —The Laramie Sentinel, of the
4th inst., says :
The hunting sport in this region beats
Gordon Cumming’s stories about Cen
tral Africa. Two boys went out with
only six traps, and in ten days they
caught seventy beavers, twelve martens,
five fishers, and several foxes. Another
friend of ours, Al. Houston, killed
twenty-three large elk in five hours, a
short time ago, within a few miles of
this city. Tho whole country is cover
ed with antelope like a sheep pasture,
and herds of elk, often numbering sev
eral hundred, are met with every day.
Nearer to the Shy.
The oak tree's bcughs once touched the grass;
But ev<ry year they grew
A little farther from the ground,
And nearer toward the blue.
So live that you each year may be.
While time glides swiftly by,
A little farther from the earth,
And nearer to the sky.
How Many.? —A young man asked
an old man for his daughter in marriage.
The answer was : “Go into the orchard
and bring in a number of apples. Give
me one-half of the whole number, and
the mother half of the balance and half
an apple over, and to the daughter one
half of the remainder aud half an apple,
and have one left for yourself, without
cutting an apple, and then, if she*is wil
ling, you can have her.” He solved
the question. How many did he bring?
Little Carrie four years old,
went with her aunt to church, and on
returning home gave to her mother her
impression of the sermon in the follow
ing manner: “I have beard such a
smarP minister. He stamped and
pounded, and made such a noise, and
then he got so mad he shook bis fist at
the folks, and there was not anybody
that dared go np aDd fight him.”

neighborhood of Lewisburg, Va., living

“Doctor, I w.jS vaccinated in the hospital. Be
fore that I had no skin disease. Until I bad a bot
tle of your “Constitution Renovator,” sent me by
Mr. Roper, of Columbia, Mo., I suffered tortures
with running sores. Since I used two bottles lam
all well except a sma'l sore on the calf of my left
leg, and that is getting well fast.”
This from a Mdy. “And now my skin is as clear
and fair as a babe’s. My complexion, thanks to
your “Renovate ,” is beautiful.
“Yes yes, I may well say such relief wa* un

remedy seems to be curing me fast. Send 4 bot

through the wonderful cures of the great Pyrafuge.
It cures and leaves the patient stronger and heal

brings out the sunken cheeks of the emaciated, acts
like a tonic and makes the patient change from de
spondency to cheerfulness, and the whole is so effi

Pyrafuge is a grsat Chill-and-FeVer remedy, cau«-

LIVER COMPLAINT.
Rev. Dr. C. F. Deems, (Aug. 23d, 1862.) says:
“I have derived great benefit from these t ills, and
have known many families and individuals who
have found them very beneficial, and I have also
known physicians in excellent standing to recom
mend them to their patients. For all diseases aris
ing from disorders of the liver, I believe they are
the best medicine offered to the public.”
Rev. John W. Potter, Snow Hill, N. C., (Jan. 5,
1863,) says: “For t velve years I was a great suf
ferer. My liver was diseased. I lost my flesh and
strength, and my skin seemed changed in its color
by the bile with which my system was overcharged.
I became subject to Irequent and violent attacks of
bilious cholic, every attack leaving me weaker than
its predecessor. The physicians had been able to
patch me up a little, but my health was in a deplor
able state. I had taken patent medicines until I
was tired of them. Without energy or comfort, I
was baraly able to go about a little At length 1
yielded to the earnest persuasion es a ftiend and
commenced taking tbe HEPATIC PILLS, wi.h no
confidence in them. They acted like acbaimon
me. From that hour I have improved. I have
persevered in their use, until now, by God’s bless
ing, lam well and hearty. I had a negro man,
who as I believe, was saved from death bv a dose
of these Pills. My Doctor’s bill was annually from
SIOO to S2OO, but l have had uo use for a physician
since. 1 can confidently recommend them as a su
perior family medicine.
DYSPEPSIA.
S. D. Wallace, Esq., President of the Wilmitrg;
ton k Weldon Railroad, (Aug. 3‘, 1862) says: ‘‘lt
has been said that Dyspepsia is our national di
ease. However this mav be, it caused me ioug and
severe suffering. Providentially a friend furnished
toe with a tew boxes of the Hepatic Pills, and the
use of them has perfected a cure. In my family
they have teen used frequently with eminent suc
cess. Among my acquaintances many cases origi
nating from diseased liver, have been relieved end
cured by them. I regard them an invaluable med
icine, and take pleasure in forwardiug this volunta
ry tribute.”
A W. D. Tavler. Esq., Petersburg, Va., (Jan. 12
1559,) says: ‘ln the Spring of 1838, I was attack
ed with Dyspepsia to such an extent that all my
food of every description disagreed with me. I
was swollen so 1 had to loosen my clothe-, and
night alter eight I could get no sleep. I tried one
or two physicians and took a good deal of medi
cine, but lo«nd no relief. I purchased one box of
the Southern Hepatic Pills, and the fin-t dose 1
took I felt relieved, and continued until I took the
whole box. lam now entirely well, and cat hear
tily, and never have been attacked since. I can
safely recommend these Pills to the Dyspeptic and
tb« community at large.”
If you are threatened with Pneumonia, read the
following from Capt. W. P. Davis, of Petersburg,
Ya.: “Sympathy lor the suffering prompts me to
certify that mv servdht man was suffering iu the
last stage of Pneumonia, throwing up matter and
b'ood in gieat quantities. bis case was considered
entirely hopeless, eo much so, that there was no
medical prescriptions used for his recovery ; I re
garded him as good as dead Hearing of the great
cures made by the Southern Hepatic Pills, I thought
that 1 would try an experiment on him; without
any hope of success, however, I gave the Pills iu
large doses; in a short time, to my great surpi ise,
there was a change for the better; I continued giv
ing them to him, until he became a perfectly sound
man. He is now attending to his work with as
much strength and vigor as he ever did. With his
case, and what I have seen and heard of the good
effects of these Piils, I do most earnestly recom
mend them as the best family medicine 1 have ever
seen or used.”
